Motorcycle Tires Safety Month makes a big impact in the UK
The month of March has been designated Motorcycle Tires Safety Month for motorcyclists in Britain.
Created to highlight the the dangers of defective or badly worn tires on motorcycles and scooters, many retailers, motorcycle dealers and bike tire outlets have offered bikers free tire pressure checks.
Since the start of the first ever motorcycle Tires Safety Month, TyreSafe (Britain's Tire Industry Council) has seen a surge in the popularity of its "Motorcycle Tires and Your Safety" leaflet. Its one of the information guides on tire safety which can be downloaded free of charge from the TyreSafe website.
In February alone, there were nearly 2,000 downloads, highlighting the fact that the TyreSafe online portal, which was only launched in January last year, has now become an importance resource for Britain's motoring and motorcycling public.
The motorcycle tire safety leaflet provides essential information to bikers on the different types of motorcycle tires which are fitted by manufacturers, how to interpret the information on the sidewall of a tire, and the importance on running with the correct tread depth and pressures. Only two very small contact patches connect the rider with the road which means that maintaining tires in good condition and using the correct levels of tire pressure is critical to safety.
Furthermore, TyreSafe also warns motorcyclists that in certain European countries it is illegal to use replacement tires which differ in certain respects from those fitted originally by the vehicle manufacturer.
The TyreSafe "Motorcycle Tires and Your Safety" leaflet has been produced by experts from the British Tyre Manufacturers Association in conjunction with TyreSafe.
